Looking for max text length function for a cell

I have used several grids and one feature I found
very appealing was the ability to set a max
text display length for a cell. If that
length was exceeded the grid would automatically
truncate the display, add a '...' to the string,
and set the tooltip for that cell to display
the entire string.
For example if the max display length for
a cell was 4, the string "Syncfusion rules" would
be "Sync..." and when you hovered on that cell
the tooltip would display "Syncfusion rules"
Does such a feature exist for this grid?
Thank you in advance.

You can use the GridStyleInfo.Trimming property to specify whether you want to see ellipses if the string will not fit in the cell. Maybe something like this for the whole grid (or you could do it on a cell or column r row basis).
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.TableStyle.Trimming = System.Drawing.StringTrimming.EllipsisCharacter;
There are a couple of ways to get the tip to show as well. One straight forward way is to use the PrepareViewStyleInfo event.
